Marginal   by Rhina Espaillat Source: Playing At Stillness (2005), p. ? Press: Truman State University Press  Like the poor everywhere the poem lives, if it lives by wit and pluck. it looks over the trash put out by the five senses-- those rich neighbors--  and uses what it can like wool from an old sweater it warms itself  by dancing, amuses the crowds waiting in line for movie tickets  It walks against the wind, thinking of summer, teaching  itself to sing.  ---------------------------- Copyright belongs to Rhina Espaillat.
